Historic revival of João Gomes de Araújo’s Helena

November 2026

Monique Galvão joins the historic revival of Helena, a rarely performed opera by Brazilian composer João Gomes de Araújo. More than a century after its early performances in São Paulo, the work returns to the stage in a significant rediscovery of Brazil's operatic heritage. Presented by the Companhia de Ópera do Espírito Santo in Vitória, this revival brings new life to a long-overlooked work of the Brazilian repertoire, reconnecting contemporary audiences with an important chapter of the country's musical history.
